9. Select on thickness to change the wall thickness and material to change the material of the walls

We can observe from the properties browser that base of wall is constained to level 0 and top remains unconnected

2a) Based on my observation it is better to connect the walls to the levels rather than leaving them unconnected because if want to change the height of wall we can simply change level height so that wall height changes along with it as a unit.If they are unconnected we have to change their height manually which is time consuming process and also not feasible

2b)It is convenient to use by height than by depth for modelling walls.
